Uttarakhand Nishulk Computer Prashikshan Yojana

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

The Uttarakhand Nishulk Computer Prashikshan Yojana (Uttarakhand Free Computer Training Scheme) is a skilling initiative run through the Sainik Welfare Office (Sainik Kalyan Karyalay) for the armed forces community. Its aim is simple and meaningful: to make sure that those who have served, along with their families, are equipped with the digital skills that today's workplaces demand- without the burden of course fees standing in their way.

Under this scheme, eligible candidates receive a one-year free course in practical, employment-oriented computer fields such as computer accounting, web designing and digital marketing. Rather than a short workshop, this is a full year of structured training designed to build genuine, job-ready ability. The Free Computer Training Scheme is offered across all districts of Uttarakhand, and training is provided in a defined set of one-year subjects, so candidates in any district can benefit.

The way it works is publicity-led: the Director, Sainik Welfare Office, first invites applications for the course from ex-servicemen and their dependents through outreach. Once candidates apply with the required documents, the concerned District Sainik Welfare Office (Jila Sainik Kalyan Karyalay) shares their names with the training institution, which then informs the applicants when training begins. Because applications are invited through announcements rather than a permanent open window, staying in touch with your District Sainik Welfare Office is the best way to avoid missing a cycle.
